I had a fish on for an hour last year before it broke off. Happened in flood conditions in a river and even though I eventually stopped the fish I couldn't bring it back against the current. I also couldn't move closer to the fish because of obstructions. Nobody around to help. I spent a good bit of time sitting and holding the spool while trying to figure out what to do. Fish was probably close to dead if not already dead. Right as I decided to swim after it the line broke. Probably a good thing, because getting in that water would have been a very stupid thing to do. Hard to think straight in that position.
